"I feel like season one was all about the storm being the revolution and season two is now, ‘Ok, the revolution happened; who is in charge and what are the rules?'... And, we’re all kind of navigating that as a group of co-workers, and just then all the other stuff that is happening in our personal lives is also all over the place," Reese Witherspoon reportedly said.

"I think it’s just a lifelong thing for me, too, like learning that I don’t have to please everybody, that I don’t have to make everybody happy, that you can’t make everybody happy. That’s such a journey and such an important place to land at … I remember a girlfriend saying to me, ’40 is so great, it’s going to just change your world.’ So maybe it was in my forties that I started to feel that way," said Witherspoon about her character being comfortable in her own skin.

And there is such a ‘F it,’ kind of mindset that she’s in, has been really liberating in a way... That’s a work in progress, always," said Aniston.
